Most Helpful

Remarks :

Overall decent milieu but it would be nice if campus politics is kept in check. It has done the campus more harm than good, I think.

Entrance Preview :

I appeared for an entrance test on English organised by Jadavpur university. Different departments had separate entrance tests. My name figured in the waiting list but I got through to study my BA in English.

Course Curriculum Overview :

The course curriculum was quite elaborate, though some of the sections, I thought, were unnecessary. There was great stress given on British English literature, while we were exposed to American literature and Indian writing in English only when we enrolled for masters. The course for both BA and MA are more suited for students who would eventually go to academia. It would have been helpful had creative writing or editing courses been made optional papers because most students don't stay in academics.

Internships Opportunities :

There was no internship in my university, nor was I offered any stipend. At the time I studied, there was no such mechanism in place. I would have been good if internships from the university were allowed.

Placement Experience :

The placement system was not there in the humanities departments of the university. It was available only to engineering students, which is said to be good. Most years top IT companies, banks and consultancies hire students from the engineering section.

College Events :

The university has an annual fest for all departments. Other than this, there are cultural feats for the science, arts and engineering sections separately. The university has photography and trekking clubs.

Fee Structure And Facilities :

The fee structure was affordable as ju is a state university. Most of the education facilities are state subsidised. Hostel stay too is subsidised. The tuition fee was nominal a few hundred rupees. Hostel fee was similarly low.

Loan/ Scholarship Provisions :

Subsidised education is available to students from poor households in every central and state university. Ju is no exception. However, I never took any scholarship.

Campus Life :

General campus life was good. There were basketball courts and playing fields. There were opportunities to learn photography, join a trek club etc. But it was not the most active campus in the city.

Hostel Facilities :

The hostel facilities and food were average. The seats are limited, compared to the number of girls who apply to stay there. The rooms are clean, the food lunch and dinner generally edible. There are no hi tech digital facilities.

External Expense : Rs.2000 - Rs.4000

Alumni/Alumna :

The JU English department has an alumni network. It is on Facebook. Almost every department has such a network. Reunions are held every year. Several alumni I know attend the reunions.

Exam Structure :

The university now has a semester system for exams. When I studied in ju, there were annual written exams and a viva-voice by an external examiner.

Faculty :

The faculty was quite good. Most of the teachers were capable and focused on their subjects. A few teachers were a bit irregular to classes but they were exceptions, not the rule.

Review for Gokhale Memorial College, Kolkata from a first yr student

Course Curriculum Overview:

I've always liked psychology since the day i took the subject in class 11-12. I was very determined to persue psychology in my graduation as well as masters. The curriculum convinced me more to study this subject and know more about it. The curriculum involves all the aspects including it's applications in the real world. I personally don't think they should make much changes to the curriculum.

Loreto College: The Best Academia

Course Curriculum Overview:

This curriculum is enriched with literature works by British and American writers which is really enjoyable to read and the Teachers make it more exciting. Teachers are really good at explaining every single point in the syllabus. In the history of literature part they give us notes about each and every write a and there works so that we are familiar with most of the part of our syllabus. They does not teach only for the exams but they make sure that we learn everything with depth. We have a semester exams in every 6 month but sometimes it becomes 7 or 5. But the teachers are really supportive so that we don't panic in our exams.

Placement Experience:

Training and placement cell complements the efforts of the members of faculty by organizing value-added programs and providing career counseling and placement opportunities to students. It acts as the major interface with the corporate sector and helps develop the industry-academia interrelationship. The cell organizes certain orientation programs, grooming sessions, mock interview sessions for students of each stream. Moreover, the cell organizes various summer internship programs for students to provide them with hands-on experience, thus introducing them to the professional environment. The cell continuously coordinates with various industries and organizations for the placement of students. It actively obtains feedback from organizations and conveys it to respective departments which, in turn, trains students accordingly, thereby increasing their employability.

My journey with Raiganj University

Admission:

I got affirmation in this university based on 10+2 marks. The base imprints expected to get a confirmation in this school is 50% in 10+2. To get affirmation, first, the up-and-comer needs to fill the structure. As I have done B.A. from this college, my affirmation depends on the legitimacy list.

Placement Experience:

The college gives great positions to the students. Numerous seniors from my seashore were put with acceptable compensation bundles. Numerous students likewise landed government positions. Likewise, a portion of the students got entry-level positions in all around rumoured firms. I also got an internship at this university. After that, I was placed in the same firm.

4.0 /5

One of the Best colleges in west Bengal

Remarks:

The postivie thing of our college is its Ambeince, Quality teachings, and being on of the oldest colleges in west bengal its a heritage to us and as a student i am proud to be a student of this college. In academic ways it clears all the basic and essential qualities needed in terms of studies which made it to be one of the top colleges in west bengal. The only negative thing according to me is that our canteen is open only for our professors not for us which is very unfair.

My college experience

Remarks:

The College excels in providing a peaceful learning atmosphere where there is no brouhaha of the outside world and the teachers are superb. But , unfortunately, being a boys-only college, the girls can not have the excellent opportunities provided here. As an autonomous college, they should exercise their freedom more to the students' needs. The disciplinarian rigidity is extreme help,but it fires back sometimes. Otherwise, the college is a complete package for those who wants to really build their career and at the same time live a enjoyable hostel life. It is an experience indelible. Students are lucky and proud.

Rammohan College( Batch 2013 )Bachelor of Arts [BA] {Hons.} (English Literature)October 21, 2016

2.9 /5

Entrance Preview:

There is no entrance exam conducted by the college. They publish a merit list and tech admission are done through this merit list.

Course Curriculum Overview:

The course curriculum strictly follows the university guidelines. The curriculum is very tough and extreme time and energy has to be invested to be able to score moderately good. Pass subjects are another headache because you have to clear them too. So choose a moderately easy subject which you think you can handle.
